Alarm Configuration
7.6. The Ping-No-Answer Alarm
The Ping-No-Answer Alarm is intended to provide notification when one of the IP
addresses defined via the Ping-No-Answer Reboot feature (as described in Section 6.1)
fails to respond to a Ping command. When one of the user-defined IP addresses fails to
answer a Ping command, the MPC can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message
or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• In order for this alarm to function, IP Addresses for the Ping-No-Answer
reboot feature must first be defined as described in Section 6.1.
• When a Ping-No-Answer condition is detected, the MPC can still reboot the
user-selected outlet(s) as described in Section 6.1, and can also send an
email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP trap if properly configured as described
in this section.
• In order for the MPC to provide Email alarm notification, communication
parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the MPC to provide Syslog Message notification, Syslog
parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be enabled as
described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.
• In order for the MPC to provide SNMP Trap notification when this alarm is
triggered, SNMP parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be
enabled as described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
